Date men and women from United States / California / South Pasadena, 52 year old

Date men and women from California, United States. I'm a bright, creative guy who loves improvisational music and improvisational people. I enjoy talking and hanging out deep into the night. I read a lot, particularly poetry, philosophy and psychoanalytic papers -- a strange mix, I know.

Meet single man from California, United States. ABSTRACT(short version): Yes, I've good teeth(flossing and orthodontia, thank you) and the underwater photography is, indeed, my own. I posses a warm and expressive character and seek the conversation, and companionship of a woman who can play with me, call me on my sh... and love me despite it. In brief I seek a feminine counterpart who is both genuine and assertive, smart and playful. THE WHOLE ARTICLE: I am originally a Northern Californian and occasionally I grow nostalgic for her green, and wild, wide open coasts. Fortunately, I can be consoled by the ocean or by big trees and the scents of Oak and Bay. I've settled near the big trees in the area of Highland Park/South Pasadena/Pasadena and Eagle Rock. I am a divorced but devoted coparent of a handsome, clever 18 year old son. Physically, I am a fit , muscled, 5'09", 170 pounds. I am a bit of a fitness freak and don't include much meat or dairy in my diet. I am blessed with pattern baldness (in front) and, therefore, crop my hair to the nib. It feels gooooood in the wind and I dont have to worry about pillow hair. I am a creative and motivated school teacher in the sciences. I went to graduate school in Wine Chemistry at U.C. Davis but decided I was not satisfied by this life and turned to teaching school. I am well educated and well read and admire not only intelligence, but more importantly, intellectual curiosity. If you are a story teller and can likewise listen, this is perfect. I enjoy film (especially independent and foreign film). I like cuisine spicy, and indulge in Indian, Korean and Mexican cuisine. Naturally I love vino, especially with a little bruschetta and sour dough. I am a bit of a Zelig in my multicultural nature. I married into a Korean family (am now divorced), work in the Latino community and have lived with the French, Russians and Japanese. Perhaps, my sea captain father and my immigrant French grandparents can explain this predilection for foreign culture and friends.Physical Allure is the threshold for me as it is for most of us, but, more importantly, the dwelling that follows is built on like mind and spirit. I've stepped through too many doorways that led to nowhere and stood outside too many beautiful manor homes that have no doors. _____My desired relationship is no doubt a platitude: A friend and a lover. I'm seeking a threshold of excitement followed by a more lasting enjoyment of being in another's company. I adore fun. I love to play physically and mentally, whether it be at scrabble or sport? I hope that after serious devotion to your work, "your art," you can take leave for "joyful distraction." Play and conversation are the two most important activities between two lovers in a relationship. Are you turned on by music and dancing? Will you sing occaisionally (or often) despite the sound of your voice. Do you enjoy wine and an occasional 'aqua vite.' Are you a physical person who likes movement, etc.... I am. It brings balance to my psyche. My son has a good mother. He doesn't require another. He is well looked after financially and emotionally. I hope that if a relationship should get serious that you will be a trusted friend to him. I have wonderful relationships with both my mother and my stepmother and that is what I would someday want for my son.
